Invisible Storm 16th Dec 2024

I have a severe cold in Hong Kong. Yesterday I took half a day to travel from Shenzhen to Hong Kong, and the weather along the way was very cold. The children also started to cough and catch a cold, but I still believe that God will do something wonderful at this time.

There were many times when I felt the urge to push forward as if a storm was coming towards me, but I still forced myself to focus on God. My least favorite feeling is this - not being able to hear God's voice.

This time was no exception; I felt dizzy and groggy for days, and I knew it was all due to fatigue, but deep down I felt the need to record the voices and experiences God was conveying to my heart.

Yesterday, I was already feeling tired, so I started looking for a website where I could share God’s Word and my life, searching as I wrote the draft.

This morning I continued to study and explore how to use the website, but today's cold made me completely lose my sense of smell, my nose was blocked, and my eyes were burning. In this case, I chose to keep going. In the past few days, I went to several places with my children, thinking about how to arrange my time to get close to God, because only by getting close to God can I get inner satisfaction and receive God's revelation and direction.

However, when I have a short time to be close to God, I often face various challenges. At this time, we may choose to focus on the visible things in front of us; but through God's training of me this year, I realized that I must express my needs, rather than blindly satisfying the expectations of others and ignoring my true desires. In this regard, I can see the cooperation of my husband and children, and I also try to understand, but this trip has improved my tired situation a lot. Thank God for making many changes in my family.

Whenever I decided to continue to focus on God, the next day’s situation would be significantly improved, and the sense of inner satisfaction would become real and full, rather than empty.

I am very grateful for the grace of the Lord. Before I knew the Lord, whenever a storm came, I would do nothing, neither hiding nor moving forward. I was just constantly attacked and became a scarred soul.

Now, I have the power of the Lord in my heart, and I am getting stronger. The Lord has reminded me many times and given me understanding, which has helped me to gradually improve my perspective and benefited me in all aspects.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. ( Ephesians 6:10)

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and with my song I will praise him. (Psalm 28:7)

The Lord is my shield and protector. He always resists and gives me strength in the face of all kinds of storms. Only the Lord Jesus can give us this kind of love. Thank you Lord Jesus~
